OTOH, it does give you the desired result without having to (possibly)
recompile a kernel and reboot.

What I was proud of in this case was my demonstration of the

don't give a good goddamn about automounting, and don't care about
finding the best way to do it.

Sure, because the -e builtin is a real CPU hog, right?
